EX-99.1 2 ex99-1.txt Exhibit 99.1 NEWS RELEASE FOR RELEASE: IMMEDIATELY WAYNE SAVINGS BANCSHARES, INC. ANNOUNCES EARNINGS FOR THE QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 Wooster, Ohio (April 28, 2006) - Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:WAYN), the stock holding company parent of Wayne Savings Community Bank, reported net earnings of $562,000 or $.18 per diluted share for the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006, compared to a net loss of $973,000 or $.26 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The increase in earnings was primarily due a significant decrease in general, administrative and other expense and, to a lesser extent, increases in net interest income and other income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $142,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Interest income increased $686,000 during the 2006 quarter as a result of prime rate increases and a shift in balance sheet composition from investment securities and mortgage loans toward higher yielding commercial loans. Interest expense increased $544,000 during the quarter as a result of increased rates paid on certificates of deposit and a shift in deposit composition from savings and checking deposits to higher rate certificates of deposit. Other income increased $59,000, due primarily to a non-recurring gain of $78,000 on Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) and trust income of $27,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $27,000 on the gain on sale of real estate owned, a decrease of $12,000 in miscellaneous income and a decrease of $12,000 in annuity fee income due to decreased volume. General, administrative and other expense decreased by $1.9 million due to the acceleration of stock option and other benefit plan expense incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 which were absent in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, net earnings totaled $1.6 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $381,000, or $0.11 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Net earnings for fiscal 2005 were significantly impacted by the compensation costs discussed above. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $492,000 for fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005. Interest income increased $2.1 million during fiscal 2006 from fiscal 2005, as a result of prime rate increases and a shift in balance sheet composition from investment securities and residential mortgage loans toward higher yielding commercial business and real estate loans. Interest expense increased $1.6 million during fiscal 2006 as a result of increased rates paid on certificates of deposit and a shift in deposit composition from savings and checking deposits to higher rate certificates of deposit. Other income increased $93,000, due primarily to a non-recurring gain of $116,000 on Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) and an increase of $76,000 in trust fees, offset by a $104,000 decrease in cyclical gains on sale of loans. MORE PAGE 2 General, administrative and other expense for fiscal 2006 decreased by $1.0 million due to the absence of the aforementioned compensation costs in the current fiscal year. According to Phillip E. Becker, President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company has continued its strategic initiatives of growing the commercial lending and trust businesses during a period in which the Company has faced a rapidly changing interest rate environment. At March 31, 2006, Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. reported total assets of $403.4 million, unchanged from total assets of $403.4 million at March 31, 2005. Deposits increased $12.0 million, or 3.7% to $332.6 million from $320.6 million at March 31, 2005. Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2006 amounted to $35.5 million, or 8.8% of total assets.
